[HCRA] 6-meter SSB net on Mondays

[George Collins]

Hello All,

This is from the Connecticut Section monthly newsletter.

73,

George

The Meriden Amateur Radio Club will be starting a 6-meter net on Mondays at
8:00 EST on 50.275 USB.  This is the same time as the old slow cw net.
Interest in that has diminished so we will be trying something new.

The focus of the net will be to introduce hams to 6 meters.  Remember that 
you
only need a Technician License to operate on 6 meters SSB.  This is a fun
band in that at times it is as dead as a door nail and there are times when
it suddenly comes alive with propagation across the country and even DX.
Because of it's unpredictability it is often referred to as the "Magic 
Band".

Since the focus of the net will be to introduce hams to 6 meters it is
expected that those who join in the net may not be familiar with 6 meters 
and
want to learn more about the band.  Questions about operation on 6 meters
will be one of the main focuses.  Antennas, procedures, contests, etc, are
the questions that we will try to answer, but as always with MARC nets, it
will be a ragchew net with no primary purpose except educate and have some
fun.
